Soy Candle Wax – An Introduction
Posted by admin on Aug 7, 2009
Soy candle wax is a form of soybean oil that has been partially hydrogenated to give it a waxy consistency. It has an off-white appearance and a lower melting point than paraffin wax. Soy candle wax is softer than paraffin, but additives can be incorporated to raise its melting point. This softness can be a problem during hot weather, as the candle may start to sag and deform. Because of the softness, soy candles are often made in containers.
